I owned 200 aces in GA for 12 years, I built a cabin, planted trees, built stands, put my money, sweat and literally blood into the property. My three young sons hunted with and as they became successful, we agreed to shoot only "mature" bucks. I had friends and family wanting to hunt all the time and I had guests several times per year and eventually someone would shoot a yearling or really small buck. I was never too hard on them but it really burned me considering my sons would pass on deer only to be shot by others, not often but enough to get at me and they never had a clue how much work it took to make everything come together in November so they could show up and shoot. My family ties run deep from a long line of hunters and outdoors men so I was patient but friends who didn't honor my rules were not invited back.
